I always make a point of ringing a service provider, private or public, who I feel has done a good job for me and asking them to pass the message on to the particular people involved.

As an example, I've had occasion to ring and thank my local council twice recently: once when I had to ask them if they could fix storm damage to the road outside my place and once for the great job the blokes did on the annual clean up.
Not that these things are above and beyond what they are paid for, just that it spreads a bit of goodwill when what they mostly hear is complaints.
You can tell that by the almost astonished reaction you can hear that someone is ringing to thank them.

Same goes for private companies. When a product or service is excellent, let them know.
Several times I've rung Aldi customer service to do just that.

Everybody likes to know their work is appreciated.

I'm a simple guy really Herb. I don't think that far ahead.

I hate the way the Aldi checkout workers sit down.
Looks like they're lazy.

Yeah, I have wondered about the sitting down but never thought them lazy:  at my local ALDI they are forced to stock shelves in between checking out customers.

Where do you put the pads and tampons?

That's as obvious as your introduction of crass junior High School sleaze, as usual.

Not at all, but next time you buy them make a little cubby house out of boxes of tissues and paper towels and watch when the checkout operator discovers them there.

Gordon wrote on Apr 26^th, 2017 at 9:20pm:


I will give that a try.

AiA wrote on Apr 26^th, 2017 at 9:22pm:


No it does not AiA.  You took the creep sleaze photo.....you said so.......you also asked if anyone could read the sign.

No-one can apart from the top word.

Grubby, as usual.

Why make sure no-one can read them?  What's the point other than straight out sleazeball crap most of your posts contain?

I'd get banned if they were legible. Why do you consider pads and tampons "sleaze" when in fact they are products integral to women's health?

But you do. You said so. Enter .... Aussie lying.

That you consider pads and tampons to be "sleaze" speaks volumes about your attitude towards women.

Access to safe menstrual hygiene is important Aussie. Why do you turn it into "sleaze?"

Quote:


I agree about access.  That you have no idea about your typical sleazy stuff about how you buy it for the females in your family is your problem.  Why do we need to know that?

"... and so, on this occasion of receiving my Golden Logjam for Best Performer 2017... I can only thank my service providers, the menstrual hygiene companies, my mother, my father - both of whom abandoned me at a young age thus sparing me the dire outcomes of their upbringing, as so clearly shown with my siblings who were raised by them... and most of all my favourite and Scottish grandmother, who was only an in-law granny but the best nonetheless as only a Glasgow lass can be - for her chocolate cake with walnuts and her shortbread at Christmas.... Slainte!"

I always thought it was a good idea..... nothing lazy about it - they have more energy to chase after customer's problems when they are rested.
